INDIANAPOLIS -- A new warning for an old scam. 

Scammers continue to use sites like Craiglist and eBay to steal people's money. 

In 2015, the Office of the Attorney General said it received 93 calls from people regarding Craigslist or eBay scams.

20 people said they were tricked, wired over money to buy an item and never received anything in return. Losing, in total, more than $36,000.
